More will become links as things evolve.

By *content*, we mean the actual text, images and other media that make up the material for display on the site.
Plans for how we present the material, such as layouts, colour schemes and other styling are not covered here, but in a separate document.
So...
What information do we want to include on the site?
How do we organise it to make it easy to find?
We plan to answer these questions here and, of course, listen to *your* ideas and feedback.
#### Material
Below are some ideas for what material to add.
##### Writers' Resources
A new category of articles, providing writers with useful material to help with their craft.
##### Revamp of "Who is NAWG?" Area
The [Who is NAWG?](/?cat=15) area of the website is out of date and not particularly user-friendly. We plan to replace this with a revamped interface, based on a centralised "people" database.
The database is described in more detail in the [features](/?p=210) document but, in summary, we'll be displaying information about the following:
* NAWG president and patrons.
* Board of trustees, committee members and executive officers.
* Volunteers and regular associates.
For each person concerned, we plan to display a mini-biography, together with contact details (subject to privacy requirements) and photographs.
Further down the line, we may extend the database to include a wider range of people associated with NAWG.
##### Writing Tips
Build a collection of writers' tips, based on our own readers' feedback.
This would be along the lines of:
*Problem >> Diagnosis >> Solutions >> Comments*
If we get enough in the collection, then there could be scope for producing a book.
Thanks to **Oliver** for this suggestion.
#### Organisation
